My true love did breathe by the sally ann Just barely That while walkin' through the town only my heart Did hear him In views of the city There ain't many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty That while walkin' through town, Many a twisted features Made a terrible beauty And then I knew And then I knew, I'd been there before One thing you must know by the Sally Ann directly Is that the pockets Don't hold any more sunken treasures After baptism by whiskey But when leavin' the bar by the sally Ann Just barely The old angel may allow light from above The mountain And red brick walls blooming, you may see And then you'll know And then you'll know, you've been there before
